Hello VGCollect, just dropping by to introduce myself and thank those involved in keeping this site up and database updated.

I've started to take game collecting seriously over these last few years, especially with retro games. In looking for a tool to help catalogue everything I own this site stood right out to me. Getting everything registered was painless and easy on both the website and mobile app. Honestly wish I found this site sooner, it's great.

I typically stick to shooters, fighting games, platformers and survival horror. Games with darker themes and aesthetics really jive with me. So I tend to hold series like Castlevania, Quake, and Silent Hill in high regard. The Castlevania games are the crème de la crème of my collection. Minus Dracula X for the SNES I've acquired every 2D Castlevania released in NA complete in box, plus the original PC-Engine Rondo of Blood. Very proud of that.

Look forward to contributing to the database and engaging with the community!

I really wish I had discovered this site sooner as well. Its taking me awhile to list mine as I do so many each day I'm able to lol.

One of my questions is for site mods. Why does each reply I have to put in a code and Nintendo's mascot ? Do I have to get to a certain post limit before that ends or is that for good ?

I remember seeing at least 6 copies of 3D Dot Heroes at my local Best Buy when they used to sell used games. They were like 5-8 bucks and never sold. Kinda kicking myself. I took for granted how easy it was to find PS3/360 games before Covid. Prices shot up when people had free time and wanted to relive memories. Luckily, I had *most* of what I wanted before that...but a few mistakes were made!

Same here , at GameStop back then I'd see it and Splatterhouse on shelves not selling at all from 2014-2017. I kick myself on not getting them both then. I did get lucky and make a nice trade at a local thrift shop to get Splatterhouse for system. But the fact I'd see those games like 3D Dot Game Heroes and Spider-Man games and not get them then....kick myself on that.

Welcome, Love me some PS3!!

Its one I'm currently collecting for. Trying to hunt down the "big ones" now like the Spider-Man PS3 games and 3D Dot Game Heroes. I started for it back in 2015 and for awhile it was easy to find games for it really cheap at flea markets etc. Now its gotten a lot harder due to the PS3 store nearly being shut down last year. lol

  Hi , my names SUPERECWFAN1 ....(big time wrestling fan of a certain company in 1990s)

 I really love this site and more. Its nice to see it and forums. I'm a big Playstation 3 fan (I am adding games to my personal collection deal as i go today. Gonna take a long while LOL) . Anyhow the PS3 really got me back into playing games and the games like Batman : Arkham City is a big reason I play video games today.

Its one of my favorite things to do on off days. Right now I'm rocking through Tales of Arise on PS5. I'm a big RPG fan and have played a great number. My favorites with that is Arise , Trails of Cold Steel , Final Fantasy's at times , Persona series.
